O our country, O big and Shabk, we have been abandoned, and you want to ask others and what you want
If you have said that you want us, you must have visited the country we have met
The land of our dryness invited us in the country of the sunset *** of the fate of its rulers, we departed the sunset
Tiji on our mind pours our dams *** Remember our Habibna when Mass and sunset
O Ritni bird fly and get up *** And he threw my wings on the willow and dangled
And the eye pours tears and the heart in the humiliation of the *** and the separations of Habibh Bbash to pray
